“There was oil industry boosterism that minimised potential hazards. There was a boosterism on the part of the previous [Bush] administration that got rid of protections that they viewed as obstacles to increased drilling. Now we see the results: boosterism led to complacency. And complacency led to disaster. And this is a disaster.”
